A further object of this invention is the provision of a framework for alamp which may have secured to it a socket positioned in such a mannerthat different globes may bereadilysubstituted one for the other and anew globe instantly substituted for a broken one.

A still further object of the invention is the provision ct a frameworkwhich shall be especially adapted for mounting a representation of ahuman figure, together with its associated clothes.

A final object of the invention is to provide a lamp incorporating asfew parts as is consistent with strength.

Having these objects in mind, attention is invited to the accompanyingdrawings which represent one practical embodiment of my invention, andin which I Figure 1 is a front elevational view of my improved form oflamp with part of the clothes of the applied figure removed;

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the supporting framework; and

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken through the globe socket and thesupporting frame therefor.

In these figures, like reference numerals designate similar parts, andthe reference numeral 1 indicates rods which have their lower endscoiled around a ring 2, or otherwise secured thereto, and extend thenceupwardly and inwardly toward a common center, their upper ends beingsecured by any convenient method to an upper ring 3.

As shown, the rods 1 and rings 2 and 3 are preferably wrapped withcloth, so that that 11 ion current fiowhn through b e atching any of theprojci'rting parts of he it rods or rings is eliminated Positioned belowthe upper rin 3. I. suspended therefrom by means ot upper ing wires l,which are adapted to he looped around the ring 3 and the upper ends ofthe o rods 1, is a socket 5, which is formed wit/l openings G throughwhich the wires l are adapted to pass and to have their outer endspreferably looped around one of the rods 1 adjacent its end portion. Inconnection wi'h Ti this structure. I wish it understood, how ever, thatany suitable supporting inc for a socket may be utilized, but .i found,keeping simplicity and, consetpie..." economy in mind. that the abovesuspending i means is preferably adaptable in connection with thesocket.

-Resting upon the ring 3 is the base 2' f a doll 8, )referably of china,reprcsenti human gure. This base is prcferab vided with openings 9,extendin rom side walls through to its lower race, and wires 10, orother suitable lacing means, are adapted to be passed through theopenings 9. and around the upper. ring 3 whereby to 8 firmly secure thedoll 8 in position upon such ring.

In connection with. the lamp which ii in tend to construct, l prov'de adress 11 which may be entirely closed and which given he as doll theappearance of wearing a hoop A wire 12, which may be provided with aswitch (not shown), is connected with the socket 5 for supplyingelectric current, so 1 a globe 13 is applied to the socket forilliu'ninating purposes.

In operation it will now be appreciated socket 5 to the attached globe13, a will be produced within the dress l. globe 13 may be tinted asdesired, and the dress 11 may be produced in any number of colordesigns, which will be extremely pleas ing to the eye and produce abeautiful col effect which may blend harmoniously win the generalfurnishings of the room in which it is adapted to he placed.

If it is desired to utilize the lamp as reading lamp, instead of as anight lamp, the same may he used by an occupant of the room withouthaving the light disturb any one else, by either lifting a portion ofthe dress 11 upwardly along the frame, or having the dress capable ofbeing parted and rotate the entire figure so that the light shines inthe general direction deslred.

It is to be appreciated that any number of modifications of constructionmay be resorted to without in the least departmg from the scope of myinvention.

Having thus described my invention, I desire to claim:-
